Overview


Democratizing clean energy - all by creating your own


The Henry Ford: SolarGaps Review




Since 2015, SolarGaps has been on a mission to make energy free and accessible to all. 


That’s why we are pioneering a method of energy distribution that will power the offices, homes, and cities of the future - all through our energy generating smart blinds. 



Installed on the outside of the building, our solar blinds will not only lower power bills, but will also provide active shading to reduce air conditioning usage and shrink carbon footprints.


With that, we are here to democratize clean energy, incentivizing people to create their own. 


Our Story:

 



THE PROBLEM & OUR SOLUTION


37% of electricity is spent in cities on air conditioning by 56% of the world's population (4.4 billion inhabitants live in cities)*

*sourcesource




We believe SolarGaps smart solar blinds address two important global issues: carbon pollution and energy inefficiency of existing buildings. 


Our blinds automatically adjust the angle for the most effective solar energy capturing and better shading performance. They maintain desired room temperature, control light, adjust to customer daily habits and changing weather conditions, and integrate into various smart home and commercial buildings management systems.



Because our solar blinds can capture energy on the vertical facades of buildings, we offer a way for homeowners to directly power their homes and apartments without an expensive rooftop installation. 


Powerful Renewable Technology to Power Cities:





Enterprise Customers



THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION


300+ installations, 200+ distributors, and already targeting a trillion dollar market 


With rising electricity prices and climate change, the global clean tech market is estimated to reach more than $6.4 trillion by the end of the year. (source) We think our constant revenue and production growth only confirm that clean tech and renewable energy markets are on the rise. 


*sourcesourcesource


Our solution not only generates green energy, but also serves as a heat shield that improves the sustainability of the building. With that, we believe SolarGaps is one of the only solar solutions that shades and generates energy automatically.


We are already producing on a large scale, attracting high level companies in the US, Germany and Spain.



WHY INVEST


We think the world is starting to move into renewable energy 

We believe SolarGaps will soon become a mainstream product in cities, helping people save billions on energy bills, and benefiting the planet by reducing our carbon footprint.



This funding will help us to scale up the product into the B2B version to boost sales growth and promotion, as well as add more product functionality.


To us, climate change and rising costs of energy aren’t going anywhere. Join us on our mission to democratize energy for all, helping people and the planet.

SolarGaps Partnership with the City of Zurich

In November, we participated in the Stadt Zürich Program. Within the Partnerships in the Smart Cities Vertical and The City of Zurich we will work together to test the use of solar blinds to properly measure their potential for urban buildings in Switzerland.

According to a study by TMR, the external blinds market in Europe will exceed US$ 33 bln by 2031. Switzerland was the first country to adopt this technology and our cooperation has an immense potential!

Help me understand how you would physically install these devices on very tall high rises that dominant in large cities. Do you have contracts with companies to install using scaffolding/suspensions? What processes, if any, do you have in place to get your system installed in this very large market. Thanks

For residential customers, who is doing the installation especially for those looking to use the energy to power their existing home or tie into to existing solar/battery infrastructure? Do homeowners contact a solar company that sells your product and a rep comes out to inspect the home, take measurements and provide an end to end solution or are homeowners limited to trying to figure it out by themselves? Thanks

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
